一般情况,I后都接WAS等单数形式
If I were a boy.此句型为虚拟句型,后接主语+SHOULD形式
在虚拟句型里,不管从句主语是什么,都是主语+WERE的形式
When I was ten years old ...这句为一般句型,即时间状语从句,所以用WAS
既然看到你问了,我就在这里补充一下虚拟语气的问题：
非真实条件句
1）时态：可以表示过去,现在和将来的情况.它的基本特点是时态退后.
a.同现在事实相反的假设.
句型 ：条件从句 主句
一般过去时 should( would) +动词原形
If they were here,they would help you.
b.表示于过去事实相反的假设.
句型：条件从句 主句
过去完成时 should(would) have+ 过去分词

The rice would not have been burnt if you had been more careful.

含义：He did not come yesterday,so I did not tell him about it.
